Aha! I immediately thought of Sailor Moon when I saw the title. It was my first anime, and just recently got bumped off my top three by Full Moon wo Sagashite.
I'm pleased to see the game scores! After SIV, I was a bit worried about SV, no matter how good the trailer looked. Glad to see things looking good for it, and Disgaea 2 as well.
Xenosaga III has me all excited too. Lots of good games to look forward to!
I am so envious of these people going to Japan! I wish I could, and moreoever I wish I had someone to enjoy it with. As much as I love Japan, I think I'll feel a bit lonely & lost when I finally make it, being by myself. I can just feel the enthusiasm in their emails though, it's good to hear other people so excited about it!
